According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the population of America in 2020 was 329.5 million. According to the American College of Prosthodontists, approximately 178 million Americans are missing at least one tooth, meaning over half the country is missing teeth! That same census says the population of New Jersey in 2020 was just over 9.2 million, so if you’re following along with the math, that means there are a lot of Garden State residents living with holes in their smiles. If you live in New Jersey and have missing teeth, you need an implant dentist like Dr. Bruce Fine. An implant dentist can replace missing teeth quickly and efficiently, especially with mini dental implants!
What Are Dental Implants?
Think of dental implants as the most stable, secure way to replace missing teeth. These implants are small screws made of titanium that an implant dentist fixes securely into your jawbone. Then, they attach a dental crown, bridge, or denture to replace missing teeth. Whether you’ve lost a tooth from decay, an injury, or natural aging, dental implants can offer a solution.
Dr. Fine of Fine Dental Care has been placing dental implants since 1989. His experience and expertise ensure that you’ll be in good hands from the free initial consultation until the final teeth are attached.
Reasons To Choose Dental Implants
Apart from enjoying a full smile again, why would you want dental implants over other tooth replacement options?
- Superior stability: You’ll never need to worry about loose teeth or floating dentures again. Implants will keep your prosthetic where it’s supposed to be and functioning like your original teeth.
- Higher quality of life: Some foods are hard, if not impossible, to eat with missing teeth or traditional dentures. An implant dentist can help you again enjoy all your favorite New Jersey foods, like pork rolls and saltwater taffy.
- Better bone health: Did you know that when you lose a tooth, your jawbone quickly deteriorates? Traditional restorations do nothing to stop this, but implants will stimulate your jawbone, keeping it strong and healthy.
- Improved aesthetics: Teeth replaced by dental implants look and feel more natural, giving you a more confident, radiant smile.
Mini Implants vs. Traditional Dental Implants
There are two main types of dental implants: traditional and mini dental implants. We use both to replace missing teeth, but their placement, healing process, and benefits are very different.
Just by looking at the names, size is one major difference between the implant types. Traditional implants are bulkier; patients often need extra prep work (like bone grafting) to make room for them. On the other hand, mini implants are much slimmer, and we can place them in just one visit, which saves both time and money. Recovery from mini implants is also quicker, which is great because nobody likes waiting to heal from a dental or medical procedure. Most patients are ready to go with some Tylenol in just a day or two.
Another difference is how long each implant takes to fuse with your jawbone. Traditional implants take at least 3 to 6 months to heal, and you’ll use temporary teeth until then. On the other hand, mini implants only need about 3 to 4 weeks before they’re ready to accept their final custom teeth. With mini implants, you can start enjoying your new teeth—and all their benefits—much more quickly. Finally, this simpler placement and much faster healing process is part of why mini implants are much more affordable than traditional implants.
